How to Solve Overcrowded Dodder Planting and Its Yield per Mu
AbstractIf planted too densely, you can pull out some of the dodder as appropriate, or plant a little more of the crop grown together with it. Because dodder is a parasitic plant, it is generally grown mixed with crops such as soybean, which is more beneficial to its growth.
In some places, dodder is also called yellow silk. It is both economically valuable and a harmful weed. Its economic value is mainly in its medicinal use, as it is a fairly well-known traditional Chinese medicine. However, it grows too fast, and if not controlled, it is also harmful to other crops. If overcrowding occurs when planting dodder, then its growth must be controlled.
What to Do If Dodder Is Planted Too Densely
If dodder is planted too densely, you can pull out some of the dodder as appropriate, or plant a little more of the crop grown together with it. In fact, dodder is a parasitic plant and is generally grown mixed with crops such as soybean, which is more beneficial to its growth. In fact, planting dodder too densely is not good for its growth, so everyone must pay close attention to this.
How Much Is Dodder's Yield per Mu
Dodder's yield per mu is basically about 300 grams per mu, but in some places people like to choose the intercropping method when planting, so the yield per mu of dodder in that case is slightly lower, about 150 to 160 grams per mu. Dodder's yield per mu is actually inseparable from everyday planting techniques.
1. Before planting, the land preparation work needs to be done well, then the crop grown together with dodder should be planted in advance, and after they survive, the dodder is then sown. The distance between the two should be a little closer, as this will be more beneficial to its growth.
2. After planting, management work should be done well, watering it at the appropriate time. When watering, the amount of water must be well controlled; more is not always better, and too much may cause the death of some plants.
3. Fertilization is also a key point. When planting, the handling of fertilization must be done well. Generally, the main fertilizers applied are nitrogen fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer. The amount of the former should not exceed 30 grams, and the amount of the latter should not exceed 60 grams.
4. Finally, there is field management. After dodder is planted, field weeding also needs to be carried out at the appropriate time, as this can prevent it from growing slowly.
5. Dodder also requires attention when harvesting. Generally, after harvesting, plant some drought-tolerant crops in places where it is relatively dry, and plant crops that can tolerate waterlogging in places with water.
In fact, dodder grows very readily, but it often also needs to be controlled, so some measures need to be taken in time. Dodder's yield per mu is generally around 300 grams, which is actually fairly high, but when planting, everyone needs to put in more effort in management.
